## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AFTER LANDING ON FLAT HORN LAKE, LOCATED 22 MILES WEST OF ANCHORAGE, AIRCRAFT BROKE THROUGH THIN LAYER OF OVERFLOW ICE DAMAGING LEFT AND RIGHT SKI REAR CHECK CABLE FUSELAGE FITTING ATTACHMENTS. AIRCRAFT THEN DEPARTED FLAT HORN LAKE BOUND FOR ANCHORAGE, LAKE HOOD. UPON REACHING CRUISE SPEED THE RIGHT SKI REAR CHECK CABLE ATTACHMENT DEPARTED FROM FUSELAGE CAUSING THE SKI TIP TO ROTATE UPWARD TO A VERTICAL POSITION AND LODGE BEHIND THE WING LIFT STRUT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FLIGHT. DURING THE SUBSEQUENT LANDING AT LAKE HOOD THE RIGHT SKI WAS FORCED BACK INTO POSITION BY CONTACT WITH THE GROUND AND THE REMAINDER OF THE LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
